Dream Time heads down the rabbit hole for another musical journey through the imagination. This week, Zakia's selections are inspired by the evocative power of both memory and dreams, with nostalgic folk, wistful ambient sounds and time-travelling dub.

A pioneer in Dub and Lovers Rock, Dennis founded the British reggae group Matumbi and is a long time collaborator with dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson. For Dream Time, he looks back on his own musical creations, and recalls a track inspired by a dream... And for the last 30 minutes we'll slip into the Dreambience - an ambient vortex to help you tune out and wind down for the night -

As the evenings get darker and the night closes in, we prepare for Samhain with a Dream Time that dabbles a little more in shadow. Samhain is a pagan festival with Celtic roots that marks the start of winter, known to most as Halloween. It's a time when the veil is thin between us and other realms, and so Zakia conjures the spirits with some spooky selections of eerie folk, spectral sounds and spiritual dub.

Plus the folk musician Angeline Morrison is on hand to act as our friendly Samhain guide. Angeline shares some reflections on the darkness of folk music, as well as the Halloween celebrations in her village in Cornwall, and shares a few songs for the season.
